SALT LAKE CITY, March 29, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sorenson, the leading language services provider of inclusive communication services for Deaf, hard-of-hearing, and diverse people, has been named to Fortune's prestigious list of America’s Most Innovative Companies. The announcement, made on the multinational business magazine’s website, Fortune.com, is presented by Fortune and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The award recognizes Sorenson's innovative activity across three pillars: product innovation, process innovation, and innovation culture. Each pillar was equally weighted and factored into Sorenson's total score.
"We are honored to be recognized alongside some of the most innovative companies in the world," said Jorge Rodriguez, CEO of Sorenson, which across all service lines connects more than 140 million conversations annually – in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and United Kingdom. "This recognition is a testament to our culture of innovation where we forge new ideas and think about fresh ways to implement processes and technology. We are committed to innovation in all aspects of our business, from the accessible and inclusive products and services we offer to the ways we deliver them."
The award was based on a holistic view of Sorenson's innovative activity and the following 3 pillars:
- Product innovation: Focused on innovations in R&D, production, sales, and marketing, in the development, the manufacturing and marketing of new products and the diversification of products.
- Process innovation: Considers process innovations in production / operations, strategy, planning, controlling and quality assurance.
- Innovation culture: Primarily includes the introduction of a corporate culture that promotes creativity and entrepreneurial spirit, as well as the creation of scope for innovation to improve employee motivation and increase job satisfaction.
In each of these three areas, Sorenson received a score which was included equally in the final score.
This award follows a series of other prestigious accolades for Sorenson, including being named to Forbes' list of America’s Best Employers and Fast Company's World’s Most Innovative Companies. Sorenson has also been recognized for its commitment to diversity, inclusion, and exceptional candidate experience. Additionally, last week, Olelo by Sorenson was recognized by Business Intelligence Group with the Artificial Intelligence Excellence Award.
